Mahesh, a senior IT management professional, believes in giving his best to his job and wants to help his boss and his group achieve success at any cost. He draws immense inspiration from mythological characters to guide his actions as he responds to various situations, whether it is in his corporate life or in his personal life. During the course of his corporate journey that cuts across the various domains of STEM namely Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management., he becomes the victim of his ambitious and scheming boss, who constantly harasses him with behind-the-scene actions to push him into horrible problems, to the extent that he almost loses his life a couple of times. Corona Wars is about how he overcomes all these problems while retaining his good character and emerges victorious while the scheming boss’ plans boomerang. A parallel has been drawn with the global happenings, depicting lethal confrontations between the super powers, which cause unforeseen accidents and troubles to citizens all around as their plans boomerang. The short-term strategies to reach the pinnacle, always backfire, while those who believe in long-term, ethical and methodical approaches ultimately prevail.
The promise of what Blockchain can offer businesses has evolved from a cryptocurrency payment gateway platform to something bigger and truly a game-changer. Blockchain can be a transformative technology for many businesses as it has the potential to drive a distributed and decentralized way of re-imagining processes and business models. As an inter- organizational paradigm, Blockchain enables cooperation, collaboration, coordination, and communication between hitherto untrusted entities, unknown to each other. And, the best way to participate in this revolution is by being a part of a consortium of eco-system players. Joining a Blockchain consortium raises many questions in the minds of member organisations as this is a relatively new phenomenon. While searching for accurate, ground-level, unbiased and business-oriented information to answer the above questions, we realized that there is no single repository or detailed guide that gives complete information on the best practices of Blockchain consortiums. It was to address these lacunae that we put together this handbook for Blockchain practitioners and business leaders, to help them plan their participation in a holistic way – by cutting through the hype and focusing on the core value propositions that Blockchain consortiums may unlock for their organizations.
The increased digitization and automation taking place at a rapid pace across all the spheres are our activity are creating a world of unforeseen convenience. However, we are put to an unimaginable risk of cyber-threats. At the same time, there is a lack of trust sweeping across with the counterparties and a tremendous threat to the privacy of the global citizens with the trusted third parties like governments and organizations that are unable to prevent breaches of data and malicious cyber-attacks. In such a scenario, how do we de-risk our transactions from these threats and still take advantage of the digital transformation pioneered by the emerging technologies? Blockchain! So, what is this Blockchain technology and how does it endow its users with all these compelling benefits? Let us dissect the various components of this technology and demystify the various aspects and be prepared for the revolution ahead! Srinivas is one of the few individuals in the country who really understands Blockchain! His book truly demystifies this topic and has a lot of insights. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in understanding this new technology. - Hari T.N.
